Sharing this important life source, the Mekong countries of Vietnam,
Laos, and Cambodia are facing multiples challenges in maintaining
the free flowing of the longest river in Southeast Asia. It is so important for the three nations to have a common voice and special cooperation to share the various economic benefits of the river.

This presentation will address this key issue and to bring into discussion the compounded problems of climate change, upstream dams, depleted fisheries, and threatened livelihoods. Ideas for cross-boundary projects will be explored for a variety of possibilities as well.
